A lot of research has been done on the harm of electronic cigarettes to health, and it is still being done. Although it is said that such cigarettes are less harmful than normal cigarettes, experts still say that electronic cigarettes are not innocent. A comprehensive study, the result of which was published the other day, produced a striking result.
Research conducted by Grossman School of Medicine and John Hopkins University in the United States on approximately 14 thousand men aged 20 and over revealed that those who smoke electronic cigarettes are 2.4 times more likely to experience erectile dysfunction (impotence) than those who never smoke. In other words, it has been announced that electronic cigarette users have a higher risk of not being able to get an erection.
The cause is unknown, but there is a guess.
Research cannot reveal a definitive link between e-cigarettes and impotence. But there is an opinion on this matter. Experts believe this is due to the high levels of nicotine in e-cigarette fluid, which prevents blood vessels from dilating, reducing blood flow to the penis. Even nicotine-free liquids are said to contain chemicals that can reduce the amount of testosterone circulating in the body.
Until now, it has been known for a long time that the consumption of traditional cigarettes contains chemicals such as nicotine, which are found in tobacco products that damage the blood vessels of the penis, thus causing impotence. Although electronic cigarettes are considered healthier than traditional cigarette consumption, the increasing sexual health problems have led experts to examine electronic cigarettes.
The only deficit the research had that could influence the outcome was the human factor. Because the research was conducted through men’s direct participation in the survey, some men’s answers are also likely to be wrong answers. The research, on the other hand, did not specify the difference in risk between electronic cigarettes and conventional cigarettes.
